ding_dong Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 my mate has drilled his rim and it looks ok you can only tell he has done it when you look up close, but hes lazy and probaly will not post a pic.just use the right size metal drill bit and get them equal and centered, if in doubt, try it on your sisters bike, well thats what i do.

Wright Pads Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 The one i'd seen that had come in from Echo looked like he had used handicaped people and an aged old ankle grinder with a blade made from christ knows what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as grinding your side wall for you brakes.You really are a tit, If your so in the know about bike's you should know the differant methods tried or be able to devise some yourself.It's not rocket science, you want to remove material from your rim, you do it with a drill or a mill or something, if your looking for some new way of desolving metal your not going to find it here.

If thats such a problem you know what you can go and f**king do. It's called keeping your pointless veiws and coments to your self and leaving a simple request to be answered. I'm pretty sure there be at least 5 NMC that would want to have a go at drilling there rims out to lose some weight or experiment.Remember the days of Trials-works?? They kinda started it off the home rim drilling and allLet me realitrate whats been saidShut it with your pointless coments and veiws as it's not wanted or any intrest init alright mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hagga Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I drilled my mavic D521's with 12mm holes(not mega big I know)....just got some card to make a template,centre punched centrally around the rim and then drilled them.I started with a 3mm hole and worked up...this way (as they are doulble wall rims) I could make adjustments to keep the hole central .oh yeah..I wouldn't drill opposite the valve hole..this is where the seam normally is..look first...hope this helps sorry bout pic..was taken on phone.

It's the same as grinding your side wall for you brakes. My point was that if you know all about drilling rims then why the need to ask? Perhaps I took it in the wrong context but it seemed like you were having a go at other's. I just dont see the point these day's when you can buy pre-drilled rims allready. Having to drill each individual hole myself isn't appealing to me at all....Each to their own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
